So one of my favorite Christmas movies is National Lampoon Christmas Vacation. When Clark Griswald get started putting up his Christmas lights, he just keeps going and going, like the Energizer Bunny.

There is a Bulletin board group I belong to for Radio Control Airplanes, and this one member posted a picture of his lights. Here it is and his description.



"Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations. The good news is that I truly outdid myself this year. The bad news is that I had to take them down after only two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the ladder and almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). She was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard. I think I made him too real this time . But it was fun while it lasted."
